Transform Your Skin and Boost Your Confidence with Our Expert Vein Treatment

At our clinic, we understand that spider veins are not just a cosmetic issue, but also one that affects your self-esteem and comfort. Visual Sclerotherapy is a proven, safe, and effective treatment designed to diminish the appearance of spider veins, helping you regain the flawless skin you desire.

What is Visual Sclerotherapy?

Visual Sclerotherapy is a minimally invasive procedure used to treat spider veins and small varicose veins. The treatment involves the injection of a FDA approved solution directly into the affected veins, causing them to collapse and fade over time. This procedure is typically used for veins that are visible to the naked eye and can be effectively treated without the aid of ultrasound imaging.

Why Choose Visual Sclerotherapy?

Effective: Clinically proven to reduce or eliminate the appearance of spider veins.
Minimally Invasive: Non-surgical procedure with minimal discomfort and no need for general anesthesia.
No Downtime: You can resume most of your routine activities immediately after the procedure.
Fast: The treatment sessions are quick, usually taking no more than 30 minutes.

Our Process

Consultation: Every treatment begins with a personal consultation with Dr. Chung, who will assess your veins, discuss your goals, and recommend the best treatment plan tailored to your needs.
Treatment: Dr. Chung will perform the sclerotherapy procedure using a fine needle to inject a sclerosant solution into your veins, which gradually makes them less visible.
Follow-Up: We provide a comprehensive follow-up to monitor your progress and ensure optimal results.

Before and After Care

Before: Avoid applying any lotion to your legs and refrain from anti-inflammatory medications for 48 hours before the procedure.
After: We recommend wearing compression stockings for 1-2 weeks to support and compress the treated veins and to optimize healing.
